On my way back from Frackville on Saturday, I saw a sign for a comic book convention at the Clarion Hotel here in Scranton on Sunday - I did a quick search and found some messages about it on DrunkDuck and ComicSpace, and it seemed like it'd be worth going.

And it was - it was a small show (not that I've been to any others to compare it to), but there were a bunch of dealers and several creators with tables there. I wound up talking to a few of them, including James Nguyen (who posted the message on DrunkDuck - he has his comics Inhabit and Jonas of the Sword up there), Chris Ring (who posted the message on ComicSpace - among other things, he's the creator of Carbon Knight, a four book comic series about a superhero originating in the Centralia PA mine fire), and Dan Parent (a freelance artist who - among other things - has done a lot of work for Archie Comics).

And of course I brought a bunch of copies of this year's photocopied-and-stapled Station V3 "Free Comic Book Day" mini-comic with me. So hello to anyone who met me there or picked up a copy of the book!
